Proceeding The 2nd International Seminar of Science and Technology : Accelerating Sustainable Innovation Towards Society 5.0

Society 5.0 paradigm offers a refinement of the 4.0 concept, emphasizing the balance between modern technology, such as ICT and artificial intelligence (AI), in harmony with society and the natural environment. In Society 5.0 paradigm, the leading emphasis/actor is human, by creating novel scientific findings relevant to value and wisdom, thus able to reduce economic inequality and create global prosperity. Such a positive impact on the global scale is in accordance with the stated purpose of the Sustainable Development Goals, established by the United Nations in the General Assembly in 2015. To support this global movement, we, as the committee of the 2nd International Seminar of Science and Technology 2022, propose a theme of “Accelerating Sustainable Innovation toward Society 5.0”. We classified the theme into three sub-topics: Science and Mathematics for Innovation, Sustainable Food Agriculture, Environmental Engineering and Sustainable Development.
